Can't build qt-creator from git

andro

I can build Qt from git just fine. Both 5.13.2 and 5.14.2. But try as I may I am unable to build qt-creator from git no matter what git bracnch I try, I always get C++ compilation errors, either 4.11 or 4.12. I am on Fedora 32 using llvm/clang. At this stage I wont detain people with the errors, just wanting to get a high level understanding of what I am fundamentally missing. What is the correct version tag set fo Qt and qt-creator to get a successful build.

I don't see many messages here about this sort of failure, so I am very much scratching my head.

Happy to post error output on request.

@andro Did you see this: https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_Creator_from_Git ?
As you do not provide any details it is hard to say what the problem is.

Thanks. I followed that precisely.

I didn't post the errors yet as I get a different failure with each different combination of git branches. What do versions do you use for a clean build?

@andro I do not build QtCreator by myself as there is no need for me to do so.
Any stable version should build as this is what QtCompany releases.

Hi @andro,

There is a readme file in the source repo: https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/qt-creator.git/tree/README.md

I compile Creator myself often on Ubuntu 18.04, as I'm submitting patches to Creator.

I usually have a Qt version from the online installer (like 5.14.1) and just open qtcreator.pro in the installed Creator and then build. So far this runs very smoothly.

I do, however exclude the QBS plugin and the Clang Code Model, as I don't have the corresponding development packages installed.

Maybe you want to try a build without clang first?
